Creating accessible Canvas courses at scale is challenging. Faculty often lack the time, tools, or guidance to address accessibility issues, while instructional designers and accessibility specialists struggle to keep up with demand. Research shows that 87% of faculty report at least one barrier to creating accessible courses, with time, tools, and technical guidance among the most common challenges.
UDOIT Advantage helps institutions tackle today’s digital accessibility challenges while building a scalable, sustainable approach for the future.
Canvas provides a powerful foundation for teaching and learning. UDOIT Advantage helps institutions get more from that investment by making it easier to evaluate, improve, and track accessibility across Canvas.
With greater visibility into accessibility issues and tools to prioritize and resolve them, your teams can work more effectively, involve more people, and make improvements directly within Canvas.
The value extends across the institution.
Save Time
Reviewing and remediating accessibility issues across thousands of Canvas pages, files, and assignments can be time-consuming. UDOIT Advantage reduces manual work and repetitive tasks by helping you:

Accessibility removes barriers for students with disabilities, but its benefits extend further. Research describes this as the curb-cut effect: improvements designed for one group often make experiences better for everyone.
